Women in Fire Safety Awards 2026: Deadline extended!

Supported by Headline Sponsor Apollo Fire Detectors, the Women in Fire Safety Awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of exceptional women working across the fire safety industry, recognising those individuals actively driving innovation, leadership and higher standards.

Free to enter, the Women in Fire Safety Awards shine a light on excellence, while in parallel helping to increase diversity and representation within the fire safety profession. This year’s winners will be revealed on 15 October during a gala ceremony to be held at the Mercure London Earl’s Court Hotel and wholly dedicated to celebrating excellence across the industry.

The Women in Fire Safety Awards will be co-located with the Women in Safety and Health Awards (organised by Western Business Media and Health and Safety Matters, a sister title of Fire Safety Matters), thereby bringing together professionals from across both of these key sectors for a night of recognition, connection and inspiration.
